Quote: See if the lamination area others are speaking of (the traingle area) is actually lifting from the coin like a lamination peel would do. If you can slip something under the area it is a lamination, if it is just a crack you won't be able to stick anything between it and the coin. Use a toothpick and be really careful not to damage your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
chettieyy Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 11:13 am Well after careful examination with a small piece of paper and a pair of tweezers under a high magnification microscope it is the conclusion that I am able to slide just alittle bit of the corner of paper underneath the triangular part on the forehead therefore confirming atleast that area as a lamination.. still not sure about the die crack or maybe that's part of the lamination that just hasn't separated yet... anyway thanks to everyone and thank you 7TF for the explanation on what to do.. much appreciated.

7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 4:18 pm I would just put it in a flip and mark it a radial die crack w/ possible break or lamination until you can decide for sure, it really won't affect the value as these die cracks are pretty common but when they form a break they get more attention from collectors. I think it is more likely just a different form of die crack/break rather than a lamination. It can be tricky trying to nail down exactly what an error/variety is sometimes. This is one of the coolest Morgan die Breaks in my opinion http://www.vamworld.com/1888-O+VAM-1B I have never owned one, but from the pictures it looks like the die crack is not actually raised on the face but is more like the die shifted slightly. This is why I wonder if your coin is not actually just a different form of a die crack extending from the break in the hair. What you see in the fields above the head is definitely a die crack.

chettieyy Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 12:49 pm Thanks 7TF for taking the time you have to try and pin down exactly what is going on with this Memorial cent.. Definetly a tricky one for sure.. I will just throw it in a flip and label it like you said and put it away for 50 years and maybe it will be worth a nickel.. In all seriousness though I know what ya mean the more I read about attributing varieties and how just the slightest difference or absence of a marker can quickly make things more complicated.. As for said piece it's still a cool piece and will just go in the error/variety folder for now. Thanks for the link..That morgan has to be the coolest die break I have ever seen to date myself..Interesting read as well.. Thanks for posting the link..appreciate it.. The more info I can obtain about this type of stuff the better as the more I can learn.
